HUNJDAY. .JUIO 11, 1003 3k Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Special 10 Per Cent DISCOUNT On Our Large Line of JARDINIERS AND FERN DISHES Just received a new assortment A. V.' ALLEN THE BEST THE GOOD ONES ALLIES TO FIGHT Details of the Plan Made Pub lie by Burke CAUSED BY RECENT CONTEST Resolution is Identical With One In troduced by Senator Quay in Phil' idelphia in 1900 Which Was With drawn Before it Reached Vote. CHICAGO. Tune 13 Details of the plan of the allies to make a fight on the floor of the Republican na tional convention, to reduce the rep resentation of Southern States were made public today b'y Representative Eurk of Pennsylvania, the manager for Knox. The resolution which will be forced on the floor of the conven tion by Burke provides , that each state shall be entitled to four dele gates at large, and one additional delegate for each 10,000 votes and two delegates from each territory the District of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and Philippine Islands. The introduction of the re sulition is a direct outcome of the dissatisfacton caused by the manner in which the recent contests before the national committee were decided. The resolution is identical with the one introduced by Senator Quay in Philadelphia, in 1900, but which was withdrawn before it reached the Tote. ' The Presidential nomination hav ing failed to develop the contest is calculated to thrill the convention, the vice-presidency has fortunately come forward as a real factor of the doubt. Most cagacious political prophets frankly admit tonight that the ques tion rA nnminatincr vice-oresident IS all up in the air." Some of the prom ising booms are now 'dormant, others have made their appearance only to be laid out of existence within the hour Those who are mentioned are Representative Sherman , of New York, Secretary Cortelyou, Timothy L. Woodruff of New York, Governor Guild of Massachusetts, J. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey and Senator Dolliver. The rivalry between Senator Dolli ver and Secretary Cortelyou over the vice-presidential nomination has at tracted riiuch attention today and has come, nearer constituting an "situa-: rion" than any condition which has; yet developed. The competition took definite shape early today upon the arryal of Senator Long of Kansas, who is recognized as Dolliver's es pecial champion. From then until late tonight Long has been actively -engaged in doing all possible to speed J the Dolliver propaganda. j IT WILL be here ! IN A I FEW j DAYS Cortelyou was quite as actively represented by Assistant Secretary Collidge, who also spend a busy day, Dolliver is regarded as a respective candidate but he occupies the anoma lous position of being opposed by friends from his own state, who arc actuated by fear that should Dolli vcr becomf vice-president, the Cum mins faction of whom they have ser ious dread would immediately step to the front and precipitate in the sena torial fieht which they fear would have better prospect of winning than in the recent contest with Allison. oColidge is not slow in taking ad vantage of this situation and to avail himself of the assistance of Iowa men as they were active in pointing out the injustice of putting Iowans in a disagreeable position. While Dolliver and Cortelyou stand out more prominently than the other candidates, all concede there is no certainty of the nomination of either and the outcome of 'the contest is exceedingly doubtful.

John C. Johansen of Lewis and Clark was fined $19 in Justice Court yesterday on the charge of having as saulted and beaten Lloyd Foote, a young man who lives a short distance from Johansen's home. The case was tried before a jury, who dclilv erated for a half an hour or more be fore filing in before Justice Goodman and announcing their verdict. As sistant District . Attorney McCue ap peared for the prosecution and At torney Howard Browncll for the de fense. ' The little court room was crowded during the progress of the trial, and among the audience there was appar ently a goodly portion of the popula tion of the Lewis and Clark district. present either as witnesses or out of curiosity. The several little tilts be tween the two lawyers kept the au dience on the alert, and both lawyers fought the case as if it were one of far more imoprtancc than it really I was, According to tne evidence young Foote is the owner of a horse, and the aforesaid horse is accustomed to browse in a small pasture belong ing tp the Footc's, yet to ihe equine's taste the pasturage in an adjoining field belonging to Johansen is some what preferable, and it has been wont to stray over, there. Johansen aver red that he didn't like the idea. of the horse trespassing on his property and stated that he remonstrated with young Foote, but without avail. Finally, one day last week, Johnan- sen met Foote on a nearby trial and brought up the question of the horse, Blows followed words, and according to the testimony given by Foote, Johansen struck him twice in the BENJAMIN SUITS Good Suits Clothes for boys of the better boy and every mother. ' JUDD THE WOOLEN face. t. When Johansen got on the stand he denied the assault and asserted that young Foote approached him with fists extended in the attitude of a pugilist. Johansen had .five wit nesses who testified to his good char acter, and that he was a peaceable, law-abiding citizen but the jury seem ed to believe that Jolinansen, despite his good character, must have been in the wrong. Immediately, after the testimony was all in and the jury went out, ev erybody disappeared as if by magic. The two lawers flew for their offices, and the two principals apparently started for home, evidently thinking that no one would want them any more. Thus when Justice Goodman want ed to impose the sentence of the court there was not a lawyer nor prosecuting witness or defendant in sight. Johansen had jumped into his gasoline launch and hurried home to milk his cows, but the justice final ly announced the fine in the presence of the, defendant's attorney and agreed to wait a day or two for the j Grand Prize, Reo Automobile, BENJAMIN CLOTHES are the peer of all fine clothcs-not because we say so, but because they have stood the test.

Justice Good man suggested that a comparatively light fine was imposed because of ex tenuating circumstances and because the defendant bore a good name. PERSONAL MENTION F. W.
